Hand
If you’re new to golf, the most common golf glove configuration is to wear a glove on your left hand if you’re a right-handed golfer. and wear a glove on your right hand if you’re a left-handed golfer. This is due to your front hand having more control and movement on the club than your backhand, thus making it ideal for wearing a glove to protect from blisters and help ensure the strongest grip possible.
Rarely do golfers wear gloves on each hand while playing. The only time you might see this is when it’s cold outside and a golfer opts for a pair of cold-weather golf gloves.
Material
Golf gloves are most commonly made out of different types of leather. The most common leathers are synthetic, goatskin, sheepskin, and, most popular cabretta leather. Cabretta leather is a soft, supple leather from sheep that grow hair instead of wool. Cabretta is also durable and lightweight, so when you combine all of its qualities it makes an excellent leather for use in golf gloves.
Breathability
The best golf gloves combine durability with breathability, but finding that sweet spot between the two can be pretty difficult. Buying a golf glove with lots of reinforcement to prevent tearing can sometimes be too heavy and trap heat, thus causing your hands to sweat while playing. And buying a glove that’s thin and breathable can sometimes be too weak and start tearing and forming holes faster than expected. Finding that happy-medium is different for every golfer, but we’re confident in saying that all of the golf gloves above combine the best of both qualities as best as possible.
